Liu Xiao's face was much better, and after thinking about it, he asked, "So, how many days does Company Commander An want you to stay up like this?" ”

Li Shunping replied: "I can't tell...... The brothers laughed at the seven of us for being cowardly, and Deputy Hu Lian said that when I couldn't stand it and wanted to kill someone, when I would pass it. ”

Liu Xiao and several colleagues were shocked and looked at Hu Jialin, while Hu Jialin, who was wearing a lieutenant's uniform, stood respectfully half a step behind An Yi, his eyes looking straight ahead, his face expressionless, as if he hadn't seen the eyes of the commanders at all.

Liu Xiao secretly praised in his heart, and came to An Yi and said kindly: "You did a good job, which surprised us, and you are worthy of being a top student from our Huangpu." In the past few days, the recruitment department of the military department is carrying out the summary registration of recruits and formulating a distribution plan, and it is estimated that there will be new recruits to fill in soon, and your workload will be very large, are you confident? ”

"Report Master's seat: Three companies resolutely complete the task!" An Yi replied loudly.

This novel sentence surprised Liu Xiao, most people answer "obey" or directly answer "have confidence", like An Yi's categorical answer, Liu Xiao and several commanders heard it for the first time.

Chief of Staff Hu Shusen and An Yi met the most often, and they also passed three phone calls, so they were relatively familiar with each other. Hu Shusen walked up to Liu Xiao and smiled slightly: "An Yi, so confident, it's good!" Can you tell us what your platoon commanders have been busy with in the past three days? ”

"Report to the Chief of Staff: The day before yesterday and yesterday, the Third Company carried out a general cleaning, sorted out housekeeping, repaired doors, windows, tables, chairs, benches, and assigned barracks and bed numbers; In two evenings, they studied internal affairs, recorded and sorted out the soldiers' files, and divided the current 25 people into two squads, and selected the four chief and deputy squad leaders of the first and second squads by the soldiers and the company headquarters. During the day, the three subordinate personnel formulated the provisional management regulations for the platoon commanders and squad leaders of each platoon and squad in the future, formulated the training plan to be launched in the next step, and the military skills competition between the squads and platoons. After the report, please give me advice! An Yi replied methodically.

Liu Xiao and the others were very satisfied, exchanging opinions with each other's eyes, Liu Xiao nodded and asked An Yi to lead the way, and entered the temporary office barracks to see the work results of the three of them.

When Liu Xiao and others saw a file and a series of plans in a formal format, neatly written, and detailed content, they were all impressed by An Yi's work efficiency, ability and enterprising spirit.

Compared with the previous three companies, the great changes and rapid progress left a deep impression on several chief officers. Several other deputy governors also deeply admired Liu Xiao's insight, if it weren't for Liu Xiao's efforts to be the first teacher, and Principal Jiang's apology to the second division, I am afraid that this proud son of Huangpu in front of him has been snatched away by the students of the first or third division.

Xu Tingyao picked up the two-page "Interim Management Regulations for Platoon Commanders and Squad Leaders" and read it carefully, and after reading it carefully, he looked surprised, and handed it to Hu Shusen next to him.

Liu Xiao was very curious about the surprised appearance of the two, so after taking it, he couldn't wait to look at it, only looked at the first few lines and sat down unconsciously, and said to An Yi appreciatively after reading it:

"Very meticulous and comprehensive, clear responsibilities and reasonable division of labor, An Yi, I want to promote this interim regulation of yours to the whole division, and report to the military department and the political department to give the third company a credit."

"Thank you for your encouragement!" An Yi replied loudly.

Liu Xiao suddenly remembered something, turned to Xu Tingyao and said, "Brother Yuexiang, do you still remember the jokes that Zhang Huizan and Zhang Shihou, the commander of the Fourth Division, made with us when we passed by the defense of the Fourth Division of the Second Army yesterday afternoon?" ”

Xu Tingyao smiled: "Why don't you remember?" He bullied our engineer battalion before it was formed, and he dared to give us a war letter, and said that it was okay to compare it no matter what, haha! It's a pity, if An Yi had come two months or even a month earlier, we would have responded without hesitation, I don't believe that our Huangpu elite can't compare to his Hunan army. ”

An Yi's competitive spirit was aroused, but after thinking about it, he didn't have the bottom at all, just as the deputy division commander Xu Tingyao said, if you give yourself a month, you will not be afraid of anyone's challenge. Today's engineer level is quite primitive in An Yi's eyes, and it is not even as good as the construction workers who engaged in construction in An Yi's previous life, except for the desperate efforts to dig the earthwork according to the map, there is no geological survey, sampling and testing and load-bearing experiments, these minimum technical procedures are in it, it is difficult to see which engineer skill has a certain technical content and the difficulty of construction under the precise requirements, if you take back the batch of advanced folding sapper shovels and refined cross picks sent by Hans, It only takes a week to adapt to more than double the efficiency, and no matter how well-trained the engineers of the Second Army are, no matter how strong they are, they are not as good as the level of the Second District Team when they were the acting district captain.

Liu Xiao and the others saw An Yi's thoughtful appearance, looked at each other and smiled again, they were all deeply relieved that they had such a strong sense of honor and enterprising under their command, who knew that their smile fell in the eyes of An Yi and Yin Jinan, and was completely misunderstood as helplessness and disappointment.

An Yi puffed up his chest and said loudly something that surprised Liu Xiao and others very unexpectedly but was extremely tempting: "Division, commanders, today is the 29th of May, if the commanders agree, my subordinates want to personally recruit the young and strong migrant workers who have rich experience, extraordinary endurance, hardship, hard work, simplicity and kindness to build the wharf into our third company, and my subordinates dare to make a military order: only need to recruit all the people and horses for two weeks of training, with the help of professional technology to carry out reasonable budgets and accurate deductions of the target tasks, It will be able to equal or slightly surpass the engineer company of any unit in all the revolutionary armies at present. If he fails the competition because of the conditions that the commanders meet, An Yi is willing to accept all the punishments of the divisional headquarters! ”

Liu Xiao and the others, you look at me, I look at you, after a little discussion, they decisively agreed to An Yi's request.

Liu Xiao and Xu Tingyao, who had a tacit understanding, nodded lightly to each other, Xu Tingyao whispered a few words beside Chief of Staff Hu Shusen, Hu Shusen smiled slightly and turned to An Yi: "An Yi, do you dare to make a military order now?" ”

An Yi replied loudly: "The determination has been made, and there is no hesitation!" ”

"Good!"

Liu Xiao and the others applauded in unison when they heard such a heroic answer.
